TTC after miscarriage - March 2020

[TerribleImagination]

Hey everyone 👋🏻

This thread is for anyone TTC or testing in March after a miscarriage.

So sorry if you find yourself here, but you’re in good company ❤️

@Ljm0101 I was going to try and be strong and not early test... But I've just ordered more cheapies online and I already have 3 in the house so I'm probably just going to test every day from tomorrow. So sad I know but I just can't not. Someone else on the thread said they had a faint line from 8DPO so you just never know!!

Maybe I'll order some cheapies 😂 all I have are frer's in the house and I don't want to waste them. 🙈 aww well good luck @shhhhs let me know how you get on xx

@Ljm0101 I'm the same, definitely wouldn't use FRER too early, they are so expensive!! I should wait really because it's just disheartening and very unlikely to get a positive this early even if I am pregnant but I have no willpower. I might try and hold out until Monday, I'll keep you updated 😊

@SunnySideUp2020 I think it's pretty positive too! I went back and took some more photos over the next 45mins and apparently it got slightly more positive 😂. I'll do another later tonight and see what it looks like!

@Annny27 I'm going to try and stay chilled and not obsessively test 😬. Saying that I'm also throwing everything we've got at this month I'm eating Brazil nuts and pineapple and downing grapefruit juice like it's all going out of fashion 😂

This is how they progressed slightly. Same stick!

@Ljm0101 I’ve got a BFP at 10dpo with my last 3 pregnancies, worth a try!

@Fizzl I think your OPKs look very nearly positive! I'd do another tonight and see what you get. I got a high reading last night at about 5pm and then peak reading at 9:30pm so it just suddenly shot up! I did another 2 this morning and got even stronger positives. I'm currently feeling cramps on my left side so I'm assuming I'm ovulating as I type haha! I've also been guzzling grapefruit juice and taking evening primrose oil this month to up my CM but tbh I haven't really noticed a difference. I've read that you should stop after ovulation though as it can cause uterine contractions!

@Annny27 yes we doooo! I feel like we've thrown everything at it this month so will inevitably feel like I must be pregnant haha. I know that's not how it works though! I've added a pic of when we've dtd this month. We tried not to do it as much in the lead up to fertile week cos I was worried it was causing me to get BV... I'm on CD16 and we did it last night, this morning and gonna go again tonight and probably tomorrow as well just to hopefully be covered! What about you? Love that we're gonna be in the tww together with Fizzl!

@SunnySideUp2020 oh bless you sounds like you've had a rough month. When did you start your travels? It only takes that one time to fall so fingers crossed you've still managed to catch this month despite the stomach bug! Are you in a hotel at the mo then? xx

Oooooo @scrumdiddly123 that's very tempting 😊😊😊 xxx

Trying to conceive in march to

Hi all just wondering I'm using the clearblue fertility monitor after having a pregnancy that ended at 24 weeks, the 1st month I did it after my periods had returned, I got more than 10 days of highs then eventually period arrived 1st march lasted approx 7 day I am testing now this month this last few days has been high, how many days should you get a high before peak and has anyone fell pregnant on a high

@Ljm0101 10 dpo can show a faint line but it could also show an evap and create disappointment if no progression so i would wait if i were you (but really I’d also have no willpower to wait :) )

@Annny27 i don’t come back! We will relocate in the summer once we find jobs

@MilsCookie we left last week and we are currently at DP s parents... so not the worse but still pretty annoying given we should be on holiday in the US!!!

And yes it does only take once... we will find out!

Morning :D 1dpo today so officially in the tww 🙌

@milscookie sounds like you have covered all bases! We actually only managed to DTD 3 times this cycle.....because I ovulated earlier than thought but managed to do it the morning of ovulation, 2 days before that and then 2 days before that so 3 times in fertile week (only takes once as @sunnysideup2020 says)

@sunnysideup2020 that's very exciting! Hope all goes well for you both. Symptom spotting yet or preoccupied?

@Fizzl I have been somewhat chilled this month so far. I think coronovirus and all that's happening in the world has taken my mind off of ttc a bit!

@Annny27 I think you're pretty well covered!

I'm also getting slightly more worried about this coronavirus. I started a thread last week about it and there's been another one since and it's very much a mixed bag between people saying just carry on ttc and others who are going back on their contraception as they don't want to risk a pregnancy with an unknown virus flying around 😬. If I do fall pregnant this month I think I'm just gona lock myself away until this whole thing disappears!! (Not too sure how this would go down with work tho 😂)

Morning! Ooof exciting to see there are so many of us in the exact same cycle @Fizzl @Annny27 and @MilsCookie - I had a very low opk today, it was higher yesterday but I never got what premom class as a peak though...I drink a lot of water though so may be really diluted. I've chucked everything at it too, this is first "real" cycle after MC. We have done it the last four days, and will do today and tomorrow too I think...will be glad of a rest!! 😂 also used concieve plus, acupuncture and loads of vitamins...
@SunnySideUp2020 sorry about your break, it's a really uncertain time at the minute! We are going away today but just UK so should be ok...very ready for some time out!
Hope everyone else is ok

@milscookie what a coincidence that me you and Anny are all in the tww together! I've just done another opk so I'll see if it's any darker this morning. I did another last night but it went slightly lighter. I'd drank loads of water and could only hold it for about 1.5hrs so I'm not convinced it was totally accurate.

Ah @Whiffle77 sorry I crossed posted there! Looks like there will be a few of us to keep each other company during this tww 😂. We've also done vitamins and preseed. We've spent 3months getting ourselves back a little healthier too after christmas so I don't think we could have done much more. If we don't catch this month it just wasn't meant to be I suppose!

@Buttons2019

Hi, so sorry for ur loss i lost my girl at 22.5 weeks on 7th feb and we are ttc again too, Can i ask how long it took ur first AF to arrive after ur loss and do u think u ovulated that month too?

And i was using Cb fertility monitor and it was doing the same for me saying high for days on end and i give up and carried on using OPKs instead and found a pretty high surge last weekend.

Still im interested to know if anyone has conceived off high - im sure they have because ur surge (peak) could happen before or after uv tested surely?

Im 8dpo today but havnt had my first AF yet x

@shhhhs im 8dpo today, it was me who got a faint bfp at this stage first time round but iv tested this morning and its def a BFN my temps stayed high though so thats a positive but still 5 days until AF is due!! X im saving my frer for if AF doesnt appear i have 2 cheapies and cb early detection for my poas obsession in the next Few days 🙈

Woke up to red bleeding so think I’m out 😖 only 7dpo too! But I knew this first cycle after MC wasn’t going to be a normal one! On to April and a Christmas baby 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Annny27 woohoo! I think I must be 1dpo today as well but I don't temp so no actual way of knowing if I have actually ovulated... but given my first peak reading on Friday night and the cramps I had yesterday evening I would say that I probably ovulated last night. Maybe this is a good month for us all @Fizzl and @Whiffle77 given that we're all in it together! 🌈

@fizzl do you think you're 1dpo today as well? I'm gonna do an opk shortly and see if it's gone back down.

@SunnySideUp2020 what a nightmare for you. My DP and I did something similar last year (sept - Dec). Took 4 months out to travel and we have relocated and found new jobs since we've been back! Still not quite settled but getting there!!

Sending everyone lots of baby dust for this month 👣✨ 🌈 xxxxx

@MilsCookie so according to my opk and app this morning it has reached peak! I will probably take tomorrow roughly as 1dpo. I'm not temping so won't know for definite. I have a slightly shorter luteal phase normally so I expect either AF or BFP around 27th-28th March.

@Fizzl eeek exciting! Enjoy the BD haha . My cycles can range from 31-34 days so earliest I'm expecting AF is 29th March which is the Sunday of a hen do I'm going on... so I think I'll do an early test this month on Friday 27th when I'll be supposedly 13dpo so hopefully will know whether or not I can drink that weekend. It was much better for my mental health last month just waiting for AF to arrive but if I'm not pregnant I would like to know that so I can drown my sorrows haha!

@scrumdiddly123 sorry that AF arrived, she's a right f*er sometimes!

@Hayleylou89 I've just bought some FRER and already have some cheapies on the way 🤦 I promised it wouldn't do it this cycle, I have no willpower when it comes to this! I do have a horrible feeling AF is on the way though, my skin in horrendous with breakouts and I just feel all heavy in the womb area. I was convinced I was going to see red this morning as had such a tummy ache. But I won't rule myself out until AF is actually here!

Only one week left until af arrives for me. I hope we've done it enough this cycle and been lucky, gave up on the opk's in the end as just kept forgetting. But got a few positive ones so at least we should have been doing it around the right time. But who knows really!

Better do it tonight just in case as bit slack last few days.

Will upload my chart, first time I've made one ladies, and actually enjoyed entering in the information.ade a change from sitting on my hands all month dreaming about baby grows and tiny hats 🙄

Love to all of you ❣️

The opk stuff is dodgy though as I said I only did about six in the end
